The RSVP Program in St. Tammany Parish offers service opportunities for
volunteers 55 and older to use their skills and life experiences to help
meet critical needs across St. Tammany Parish.Volunteers are needed for tutoring, helping at the hospital, taking seniors to doctor’s appointments, or working at a variety of positions around the community. More than 300 RSVP volunteers currently serve.

This past year, our volunteers provided St. Tammany Parish with 41,000 hours of service.At a rate of $22.00 per hour, that’s a cost savings of $912,965 million to the community.

Volunteers work at their own pace. Some volunteers put in countless hours at a daily volunteer job, while others work special events as their schedule allows.

Volunteering is an excellent way for seniors to stay active or take on an "encore career," while learning new skills. RSVP currently has a critical need for volunteers to help transport other seniors to doctor's appointments. These seniors do not have family in town to give them a ride in some cases and are unable to take public transportation.
